but, allowing people to go out on a bike and get their @ss busted by a deer, drunk or simply, someone who didn't see them, doesn't cost "big insurance" anything? Seems to me "big insurance" could get motorcycles banned, as well. Why not helmets required in an automobile? That would save a bunch more lives and injuries. However, rather than making all of these stupid, irrational laws, I would just prefer to get government out of my life and let me make the decision on seat belts, motorcycles, helmets, tobacco, etc. They need to build roads, armies, police departments and fire departments.
